This is a stereoscopic photograph from 1905, showing a group of Japanese Army Telegraphers. The image is presented twice, slightly offset, to create a 3D effect when viewed with a stereoscope. The group consists of approximately ten men standing in a row. They are all dressed in dark, military-style uniforms with high collars and peaked caps. The uniforms appear to be a dark blue or black color. They are wearing dark trousers and shoes. Behind the group is a simple wooden structure, possibly a shelter or part of a building. It has a sloping roof and is supported by wooden posts. There are trees and foliage visible in the background, suggesting an outdoor setting. The ground is covered in grass or dirt. The sky is visible above the trees, appearing light and overcast. The image has a slightly faded and aged appearance, typical of photographs from that era. The text at the bottom reads: “No. 85. A Group of Japanese Army Telegraphers. Copyrighted, 1905, by T. W. Ingersoll.”
